To test the inhibitory activity of Ugi products 148B and 150D against Plasmodium Falciparum. For a summary of the project refer to this post.
Contributors
Jiri Gut from the Rosenthal group performed these experiments.
Procedure
The compounds are dissolved in DMSO as 10 mM stock then diluted 1:1000 into culture medium pH 7.4 (50 mM phosphate, 25 mM HEPES and bicarbonate buffers with 10% human serum). The parasites are then added and incubated for 48 hrs. Parasite development is measured by flow cytometry.
Both Ugi products did inhibit Plasmodium Falciparum at concentrations 100-300 times that of chloroquine.
The food vacuole abnormality, which is indicative of cysteine protease inhibition was not observed in the parasites, suggesting other mode of action.
Conclusion
Both Ugi products proved to be inhibitors of Plasmodium Falciparum with IC-50s in the range of 5.4-14.3 micromolar.
